Louise posted a comment about her intentions to continue the Laramie Saga with a fourth installment at LiveJournal that I just saw. She mentions appreciation for those who support her view of Ennis continuing his life after Jack's death and why the sort of resolution that Ennis & Ellery offer us is important to so many of us affected/devastated by Brokeback Mountain.
Thank you for your note of support and positive commentary, Lynne. I appreciate it, and I know that the E & E fans here appreciate it tremendously as well. Over the past couple of weeks, and particularly during the past four or five days, I have been literally flooded with comments, messages, and fan mail from folks who have read and appreciate the Laramie Saga, and I am sure it greatly reassures these readers, in an atmosphere of controversy, that there is a place where there will continue to be a philosophical support for the idea of "moving on" past the tragedy of Brokeback Mountain, and that there is still a place where open discussion of these ideas, and fiction that dramatizes them, can be freely and openyl discussed without fear of criticism.
I know I need it, and I have heard from many many others, who do!
